Video: Flawless question mark kick flattens Brazilian Fighting Series 1 fighter

Unlike the Olympics – where you can’t kick your opponent too hard without being disqualified in a karate gold medal match – we love head-kick knockouts, and there was a doozy this past weekend.

On Sunday at Brazilian Fighting Series 1, Maike Linhares knocked out Fabricio Oliveira with a spectacular head kick – and not just any head kick. Linhares landed a flawless question mark kick to flatten his opponent.

Wasn’t that a thing of beauty? Oliveira never saw it coming.

Linhares (15-3) is now on a two-fight winning streak, both finishes, and has won six of past seven overall.
